I didn’t understand it before, but I understand it now.
After realizing where he was, Fu Changling immediately regretted what he had just said and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
But the other party obviously had no intention of forgiving him. The big man picked him up and threw him to the side, then raised his fist and punched Fu Changling. Once the big man took the lead, everyone around rushed forward and punched and kicked Fu Changling in the middle.
These townspeople were extremely ferocious, and every punch and kick carried the power of the Golden Core Stage.
Fu Changling curled up in the center of the townspeople, completely unable to resist.
Facing Qin Yan, he was at the peak of the Golden Core realm, but facing this group of townspeople, they were just a group of Golden Cores!
Fu Changling wanted to cry, but he had no tears. His feeling at the moment was regret, deep regret. What on earth had he eaten to be so bold as to act so wildly without even understanding the situation?
Is this an ordinary temple? Are these ordinary townspeople?
This is the legendary most dangerous place in Jinguan Temple, the Xuanji Secret Realm where he lost his golden elixir in his previous life!
Is there a reason why the Xuanji Secret Realm has never been opened by Jinguang Temple?!
The reason was simple, incredibly simple. In this secret realm, any passing child was a Golden Core capable of beating you to tears. Golden Cores were everywhere, and Nascent Souls were as numerous as dogs. Entering this secret realm was extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could mean death.
Fu Changling completely gave up resistance, hoping not to provoke the other party. He curled up on the ground and waited until everyone had finished fighting. He finally heard a female voice say with regret: "Forget it, if you keep fighting, the person will die."
Yes, yes, yes.
Fu Changling immediately agreed in his heart. If the fight continued, he would really be beaten to death here.
"But he offended the Holy Lord, so his death is not a pity."
The big man who beat him at the beginning spoke, and Fu Changling silently greeted the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"That also requires the Holy Lord's judgment."
The girl was a little dissatisfied and muttered, "Although his face is bruised and swollen, he still has a good figure. It would be a pity to beat him to death."
Hearing this, Fu Changling's heart trembled. He raised his head and saw a woman who was two people wide, with two red spots on her face and a hairy mole at the corner of her mouth, squinting at him.
Fu Changling was so frightened that his breathing stopped. The woman looked him up and down, then back up again. Finally, she sighed, turned her head away, and placed her hand on the face of a man lying next to her. Her tone softened considerably, "This one still looks better."
Fu Changling looked carefully and found that the woman raised her hand to touch Qin Yan's face.
Qin Yan had completely fainted at this moment, but his treatment was much better than Fu Changling. He was placed on a cart with hay underneath. His shoulders were stained with blood. He frowned tightly, and his pale face, beautiful facial features, and bright red blood made him look frail and beautiful.
Fu Changling's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned his head away. He doubted without a doubt that Qin Yan was able to receive such treatment entirely because of his looks.
He suppressed his heartbeat and lowered his head, listening to the chatter of the people around him for a while. After discussion, these people finally decided that they would offer both Fu Changling and Qin Yan as sacrifices to their "Holy Lord" and let the "Holy Lord" personally decide whether to punish the evil man who destroyed his temple.
When Fu Changling heard this decision, he knew that he was safe for the time being and finally felt relieved.
The big man surnamed Wang tied him up with a magic rope, then dragged him to his feet. He snorted coldly and said, "I'll spare your life. Let's go."
Fu Changling quickly apologized with a smile and said flatteringly, "Thank you, thank you all, brothers and sisters. I will definitely take responsibility and I will definitely impress the Holy Lord. Don't worry."
Wang Dahan sneered, without saying anything more, he pulled Fu Changling and dragged him forward.
The temple was outside the village, some distance from the town. They were quite a number of people, having arrived in a bullock cart. On their way back, everyone got on a small cart towed behind the cart, leaving only Fu Changling, who was tied by a rope, to follow behind the cart.
Fu Changling had just been severely injured by Qin Yan, and then he was beaten by a group of townspeople. He didn't feel it at first, but when he really escaped from danger and was dragged forward like this, Fu Changling began to feel the difficulty.
He stumbled along, the sun hanging high in the sky, with an unusually fierce scorch. Fu Changling followed the ox cart and watched Qin Yan lying on it. The cart contained only him and the woman who had coveted their beauty from the beginning. It was spacious and comfortable. He slept soundly, and the woman even managed to give him some water while he was unconscious, fanning him with a round fan...
Fu Changling's eyes turned red with envy at Qin Yan's generous treatment. He was hungry and tired, and his vision began to blur. He couldn't help but say to the big man named Wang who was closest to him and holding his rope, "Brother..."
The big man sitting on the ox cart turned around while chewing on a steamed bun and asked impatiently, "What's going on?"
"Brother," Fu Changling swallowed, "Can I have some water to drink?"
"It's a good thing I didn't beat you to death. Why are you still drinking water?" The big man surnamed Wang yelled at him.
"Then...then how can he?"
Fu Changling pointed at Qin Yan and said, "We are all sacrifices. You can't treat us differently like this, right?"
"He has water to drink, and I didn't feed him. If you have the ability to look as good as him, ask Miss Wu for it."
After hearing this, Fu Changling glanced at Qin Yan who was being looked at affectionately by "Miss Wu" and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He suddenly felt that Qin Yan's sacrifice was too great. When Qin Yan woke up, he would probably go crazy. It was not worth it for such a small benefit.
After failing to get water, Fu Changling sighed and no longer thought about Qin Yan's treatment. Instead, he started chatting with the big man Wang.
He was a talkative person, and Wang Dahan didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but his words were pleasant, so after a few more words, Wang Dahan was willing to talk to him. He even handed him a glass of water and said, "Forget it, have a sip."
Fu Changling quickly thanked him. After finishing his water, he saw that the atmosphere had settled, so he cautiously inquired, "Brother Wang, who is that Miss Wu over there? You all seem very afraid of her."
"She is our mayor's daughter, Wu Sisi." Wang Dahan glanced at Wu Sisi and saw that she was looking at Qin Yan with an infatuated look on her face. She waved to Fu Changling. Fu Changling was very sensible and quickly quickened his pace. He came in front of Wang Dahan and looked like he was listening attentively. Wang Dahan was a little nervous. He glanced around and whispered to Fu Changling, "You are almost thirty and still not married. Now the mayor is in a hurry. You must be careful!"
Fu Changling understood immediately after hearing this and said with a horrified expression, "Is the mayor looking for a son-in-law?"
"Shhh!!"
Wang Dahan gave a thumbs-up and said nervously, "Keep your voice down!"
Fu Changling nodded repeatedly. Wang Dahan lowered his voice and continued, "The mayor is looking for a husband for her, but no one in the town dares to marry her. Fortunately, she has high standards and hasn't caused any harm. Young man, listen to me. If they ask you to choose between being the mayor's son-in-law and being a sacrifice, just be the sacrifice. In eighteen years, you'll be a brave man again. But if you marry the young lady, I'm afraid you'll be living a life worse than death."
"Is it... is it that scary?"
Fu Changling glanced at Wu Sisi again. She had indeed gained weight, and her taste was quite unusual. Her heavy makeup made it impossible to tell her true appearance. Her colorful clothes were sore that they hurt her eyes. Her hair looked as if it hadn't been washed in a long time, and the hair oil shone in the sun. She propped up her chin and looked at Qin Yan with a chuckle.
But there was something very strange about her. She had a very special sachet. The sachet was a light blue with jade-colored cloud patterns on the edge and a sword pattern in the middle. The sachet looked very worn out, as if it had been rubbed frequently, and the edges were all frayed. It looked a bit out of place when it was hung on Wu Sisi, who looked very rich despite her poor taste.
Fu Changling glanced at the sachet and then back at Wang Dahan. Without Wang Dahan saying anything, he nodded and said, "I understand."
The two chatted casually, and after entering the town, the big man surnamed Wang led Fu Changling and Qin Yan to the place where they were imprisoned.
The secret realm that Fu Changling fell into in the Shangguan family in his previous life was the Xuanji Secret Realm.
Xuanji Secret Realm itself is a small town. There are some things within a radius of ten miles outside the town, but beyond ten miles, there is nothing.
The town looked pretty much the same as Fu Changling remembered. The old shops were still there, and people were coming and going on the street. When they saw Fu Changling being tied up and brought in, everyone looked over. A group of eyeless people stared at Fu Changling, which made Fu Changling feel creepy.
But apart from the lack of people's eyes, this town still looks normal. It is bustling and lively, like walking into an ordinary town.
A group of townspeople led Fu Changling and the unconscious Qin Yan into a large courtyard.
Outside the courtyard was a vermilion gate guarded by two people in the Nascent Soul stage. Wang Dahan explained the situation to the two men. They nodded and asked Fu Changling to carry Qin Yan and follow them in.
Although Qin Yan was a sword cultivator, he was very thin. Fu Changling carried him on his shoulders and followed him into the courtyard.
There is a wide square in the courtyard. Behind the square is an altar. The altar is a convex circle. There are four stone statues beside the altar. The stone statues are women in different dancing postures, facing four directions.
There were many wooden cages in the square, with a few people already imprisoned inside. Fu Changling and Qin Yan were pushed into the wooden cages by the Nascent Soul cultivator. Fu Changling said dissatisfiedly, "Be gentle!"
"Stop talking nonsense," the big man said coldly, "Just stay here quietly and wait for the Holy Lord's final judgment!"
Fu Changling made a "tsk" sound and said nothing more. The big man locked the wooden cage and turned away.
After the big man walked away, Fu Changling looked back at Qin Yan.
The cage wasn't big, and after Qin Yan was thrown in, he leaned against Fu Changling. He was still unconscious, showing no signs of waking up. The wound on his shoulder was emitting a black aura. Fu Changling looked at it intently and confirmed that it was the evil aura left by Wushi Luo that was gnawing at his wound.
This is the difficult part about this evil spirit. If no one treats Qin Yan, he may never wake up in his life.
Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan quietly for a moment.
He had always thought Qin Yan was thin, and thought it was because he became thin after practicing evil magic as a demon cultivator. But now he realized that Qin Yan was naturally thin. The whole person leaned on him, and although he was so tall, he did not have the weight that his height should have.
However, he is a little rounder now than when he was a demon cultivator, which is mainly reflected in the lines of his face. With his eyes closed and leaning against Fu Changling, he looks a bit childish.
Fu Changling couldn't help laughing, but he felt that the smile was too sudden and inappropriate.
His heart sank, and he quickly collected his thoughts, retracted his gaze, and looked around.
The most important thing now is to solve the problems at hand.
The author has something to say:
Fu Changling: This is unfair. He is liked wherever he goes.
Qin Yan: So what?
Fu Changling: I like it too!
